The audio and video are out of sync; there is an audio delay.

There are a number of circumstances that can cause the audio and video to be out of sync.

If watching a TV program, it could be the broadcast itself or a bad connection between your cable/satellite set-top box (if applicable).

If a DVD or Blu-ray Disc® player is connected, a poor connection or the disc itself could be the cause.

When connected to a home theater system with a digital optical cable, then there may be an audio delay that requires a manually adjustment on the home theater system. There may even be a setting on the TV itself causing this issue.

NOTE: If the TV is connected to a soundbar or home theater system (with an HDMI cable or optical cable):The sound may be delayed due to audio processing delays in the soundbar or home theater system. In such cases, there are no issues with the TV speakers.

Because each of the steps below represent a possible solution to this issue, check if the issue is resolved after completing each step.

Make sure that the TV has the latest system software (firmware) installed.

NOTES:

Not all TVs have software that can be updated. To see if your TV can be updated, check the TV specifications.

If the TV is connected to a high-speed Internet connection, a software update can be downloaded from the menu of the TV.

If watching a TV program, try changing the channel to see if the problem occurs on other channels; if it only occurs on one channel, then the issue is with the broadcast.

NOTE: If the issue occurs on one channel only, contact the broadcast network provider.

Make sure all cables are securely connected to the TV and the source device (set-top box, DVD player, BD player, home theater system, or game console).

Try playing a different video source to determine if the issue occurs with other connected devices.
